We don't know what role the DLC character plays. How do you know he is a "vital part of the lore" any more than, say, Kasumi? All the guy in the video says is, "He's a fucking Prothean!" Because that's all he knows about it.
true, it is mostly speculation. but given the significance of that race to the story of the game and its lore, it seems like it would likely be a really important character and could provide a lot of answers. game companies have done shit like this before, like final fantasy 13-2 making one of the endings of the game, dlc
No, it's
all speculation.
Why anyone would throw these childish online tantrums over purely speculative matters is a mystery to me.
Fucking gamers, man. Most entitled pack of whiners I've ever had the misfortune to encounter.
I know, right? How dare the demand value for their money and condemn shameful business practices! Bunch of dicks.
You know this post doesn't really make you sound like the smartest person on this site. You're pretty much saying that we deserve value for our hard earned money, but that EA does not deserve to earn money for their work.
I am?
Explain how. Im listening.
Well you have a sarcastic comment pointing out that customers deserve good quality when they buy a product. Alone this comment doesn't say anything that we don't all agree on. However the post you quoted was saying that we whine because we have to pay full price in order to get the full game. So looking into the context it certainly seems like EA does not deserve our money, but we deserve their product.
Um... What? Sorry dude, still not feeling it.
My posts imply there is a certain standard that makes a game worth whatever you pay for it. People are getting a rotten deal with ME3, thats all I am saying. I dont understand how the hell you read my posts and came out of it with that conclusion.
We deserve something when we shell out 60 bucks for a game. We deserve a functional, fun experience, and we deserve not to be treated like thieves. Entitled? Yes, of course I am entitled, and I have every right to be. Its my money EA are getting. (or rather, not getting, in this particular case.)
Since when is expecting a product to fulfill a certain standard a bad thing? That notion is extremely backward.

Let me get this straight. Content is being removed for 10 extra dollars and the jury is in: It's okay because it's not vital? HUH!!!?
PLEASE DEFEND THE REMOVAL OF CONTENT NOT HOW INSIGNIFICANT YOU THINK IT IS.
I am sooooooooo tired of you guys mudding up the issue.
The content wasn't "removed" and then being priced at ten dollars, the content was for the collectors edition. Bioware then decided to make it available to players if they want to pay a little extra to add it to the standard edition.
ME2 players begged Bioware to see some of the CE content as DLC, it looks like that was a bad move because people are acting like self entitled baby's who just saw another kid with an icecream.
Its weird how this prothean dude appeared in numerous leaks over the last few months despite being something the team only worked on to bridge the gap to release, isnt it? The protheans must be more advanced than previous games implied, since that particular one seems to have gained the ability to travel through time.
Well, you do in fact get a fully functional game for the price of 60 bucks. You get the full game for a price of 60 bucks. Those who buy the collector's edition get extra content and that's not unheard of. They get some side quests and an extra squad member.
Those who don't buy the collector's edition wont miss out on it if they want it. They can still get it if they feel like it. Bioware has confirmed this will not be a huge part of the story so that's bullshit. This isn't really a big deal. Sure. it's not nice, but this isn't something you haven't seen before. It's just the first time (as I know at least) you see the collector's edition's extra content also released as DLC.
Going blindly by Biowares word is unwise. I have read the leaks, the character is major. Dont believe me? Read the leaks yourself, or wait until the game comes out and see for yourself.
Theres not much left to say really.
Sure. it's not nice, but this isn't something you haven't seen before.
Unfortunately, it is not, but it should be, and I can only hope this does not become a new industry standard. In light of this and a few other DLCs from other publishers, what people used to say in a joking fashion is now becoming reality.
"One of these days they will start cutting out the endings of games or complete story lines and demand more money for them, haha!" And here we are.
And please, dont give me this "B-b-b-but they worked on him in the time between the sent out the complete version of the game and the release!" bullshit. It has been known for about half a year now that there will be a recruit able prothean. His story line was completed before the first xbox live slip up.

Not that I was going to suck up to EA by using their crappy 'Origin' service anyway...but this gives me even less incentive to go buy it.
Not everybody can be expected to splash out on a pre-order, so what happens to everybody else? They're getting punished for being late. I'll stick with Skyrim thanks, at least that game has value.
I wonder how these hardcore Bioware fans would have reacted if Bethesda had cut Alduin out of the game and sold him as DLC.
